PM removes National Security Adviser Mahmud Durrani

[batmannow]

This a potentially huge F.UP! In my opinion Durrani has not acted alone in his statement nor did he consult the basic elements of the Government before making it! But the question now is that why Sherry Rehman had to SMS the same statement that Kasab is a Pakistani without having a proper authentication?? The FO is issuing a retraction of its earlier statement. I have to agree with zeeshuisb regarding Asad Durrani as he is most certainly a question mark as far as loyalties are concerned!

Lets see how they try to clean up this political crap!!

I GUSS, Sherry Rehman is going to to deny all that very soon too!

 

[zeeshuisb]

my dear

durrani himselp is a big big conspiracy

 

[zeeshuisb]

no i dont think so. they dont have to courage to do this.

GROWING PAINS in the @ss for a young democracy run by nincompoops!

so Durrani becomes a "NON STATE ACTOR".

Is screwed up such a rude word.Our ministers resigned and was not sacked.

Doesn't matter -your ministers had to leave their posts for a screwup. Durrani had to leave his post for his screwups.

Do you think Pakistan is the only country that has fired a government official? If so, then I think it is your impressions on how governments work that are 'screwed up'.

It was not the term itself, but the context in which it was used, implying that the government was dysfunctional on the basis of the sacking of an official for 'screwing up'.

 

[zeeshuisb]

I AGREE with you

GROWING PAINS in the @ss for a young democracy run by nincompoops!

How very true!

I just hope it doesn't take ten years (five years for P and then another guaranteed five for Nawaz, since the awam has to given him another chance as well) to actually mature.

But if Durrani was fired because he spoke without authority or consultation, then that shoudl send a strong message to everyone else in the government that they cannot go around doing and saying whatever they like.

Unfortunately this precedence was set by the top leadership of the PPP themselves, first with the whole ISI under the IM, and then with the DG ISI being sent to India fiascoes.

By the way epool, any word on who was actually responsible for announcing the DG ISI would be sent to India?

i guss, GILLANI acted under army preasure, rest of the PPP high command , accepted the whole plan to accept the terrorists belongs to pakistan ?
because, it was a same kind of desperate efforts by "PPP high command", to dismentlle ISI on the frist hand , & thn systematicly decrese the powers of "PAKARMY"!

same things happened,in recent past, some said IAF "AIRCRAFTS" came inside pakistani aerospace, some govt officials denied that, & thn suddnly "PRESIDENT ZARDARI" accepted that it was a "technical mistake" & IAF denied it completly why, ....?

before that, "PRESIDENT ZARDARI" accepted the indian demands to send , ISI chief to india, again it was denied after,& before it was putting ISI under REHMAN MALLIK!

THESE ALL EFFORTS WERE TARGETED THE ISI, PAKARMY, & it was very clear that PPP & its high command is desperatly trying to take out the "SWINGING SOWRD OVER ITS HEAD" with the help of INDIA & USA?

Interesting hypothesis Batman.

If true, I wonder if the reports about the tensions between Gillani and Zardari would also be true, and this act of Gillani against a pro-US, pro_Zardari figure might be the straw that broke the camels back, and lead to Gillani's ouster?

PM removes National Security Adviser Mahmud Durrani
GEO TV.NEWS

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has sacked National Security Adviser Mahmud Ali Durrani, Geo News reported Wednesday.

Talking to Geo News here, Prime Minister Gilani said Durrani had given a statement to an Indian news channel regarding Ajmal Kasab without taking him into confidence.
The prime minister said that Durrani’s statement had tarnished the country’s image.

This clearly shows that even the Gilani and Zandari's gov't is not very well organized, where a member leaks out the secret information that everyone knew.

It may be possible if PM Gilani has indeed removed Durrani as we are seeing in all Pakistani Media channels Mr 100% Zardari may fire PM Gilani because Durrani was considered a close buddy of Mr Zardari and assert his whole authority but then if such a situation does arise it will spell doom for Zardari
